Hello,
I just got this computer used, It has Outlook Express and Microsoft outlook,
I can open Outlook Express but not Microsoft Outlook. Every time I try I
get a message (you must provide the name of your microsoft exchange server) I
have no Idea what that is.
I use AOL for all my mail, I just want to be able to use the Calander.
Please keep in mind I am not very good with computers, it took me 90 minutes
to get this far.

If you can help me please mail me direct at [email protected]
Thank you

You choose the wrong account type. You had to choose POP3.

Go to Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles... and remove the profile
that shows there.
Close the dialog and now start Outlook again; it will prompt you to setup an
account. Choose POP3 as the account type and configure the server settings.

You should get it configured now. Don't forget to remove the account from
Outlook Express or some of your mail will be received in OE while others in
Outlook.
